That’s the gist of it.

This is a good point. The oligarchs, who if anything had it pretty easy under democracy, have thrown us to the fascist wolves. And they had another option. Let's remember that when reconstruction time arrives.

Maybe he should be evicted

I hope it happens tomorrow

This has been the plan all along. - Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN - Implement the Insurrection Act - Declare Martial Law - Suspend elections

This angle shows Trump’s ICE agent standing on the side of the vehicle and firing into the open window at the driver. This was murder.

Here's a tracker of all the people (40) ICE has shot, including someone celebrating New Years by shooting his gun who was killed by an off-duty ICE goon. www.thetrace.org/2025/12/immi...

Mitt Romney said the quiet part out loud: the rich should pay more in taxes. The Wall Street Journal attacked him for it. But he’s right—and ignoring the math is how democracies crack. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Trump is a PHILISTINE! This makes me sick. Rick Wilson said it: Everything Trump touches dies www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

• Iris-scanning system that would give agents the “capability to quickly and accurately identify individuals encountered during ICE operations” • Lobbying by Ballard Partners, one of the most Trump-connected K Street firms • No-bid contract awarded in August

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

It looks like someone has hacked a crosswalk button in Palo Alto to deliver at least two different messages in the voice of Elon Musk. (They are not complimentary)

The great Marvin Gaye, born today in 1939. His isolated vocal track from “Grapevine” is always a winner. 🙏🏼

He intends to leave the WH on his back, not on his feet, and he’s willing to destroy anything/everything to make that happen. He neither understand nor values our Constitution. He dgaf about our future. He’s just running from the law; trying to break it faster than it can catch up.

Everyone knows that the correct place to share classified information about military actions is in the bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.

treat the signalgate story like fox news would - what other secrets are they hiding - are there payoff backchannels - release the long form text transcripts - this requires a criminal investigation - what other backchannels are they leaking classified intel on? members of congress? fox news? russia

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

this stuff is happening across the country and even more intensively downstream of the veterans admin but it's happening in so many places at once and without any public notification that it's still only barely emerging in the news

Just so we’re all clear, the Supreme Court *expressly ruled* that the president cannot fire FTC commissioners without cause in 1935’s Humphrey’s Executor. Trump’s action here is brazenly illegal under any interpretation of the law as it stands. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

I did a lot research into how a shutdown might play out, and there was lots to fear; not least that the Trump/Musk/Vought axis of MAGA extremists would love a shutdown, and want a long one, and use it to cruel advantage. What was there to fear?

From banned books to banned words, Trump's no-no's include: "biased," "climate science," "women," "socioeconomic," "underprivileged," and "inequality." “Men” is not on the taboo list, in deference to the political ascendency of the Manosphere, of course.

Yeah, Ukrainians should not have picked on Russia by being invaded and mass murdered by Russians.

Never been prouder to work with Norm Eisen at The Contrarian 💙

Menacing the free press during a speech at the Department of Justice at which the AG proclaims her fealty. Open authoritarianism.

UPDATE: Yale just confirmed that State terminated the contract in a statement to me: "Researchers at the Humanitarian Research Lab were notified recently that government funding for their work on the war in Ukraine has been discontinued." Yale notes the Lab's work defending "Ukrainian children."

Today we're publishing a monster feature that dives deep into the initial six weeks over Elon Musk's government takeover. Our entire newsroom came together to help make this story happen. Read this culmination of our blood, sweat, and tears:

AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”

Employees at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency tell WIRED they’re struggling to protect the US while the administration dismisses their colleagues and poisons their partnerships.

BREAKING: Judge orders Trump administration to reinstate thousands of fired employees at VA, Defense Department and other agencies

The head of the Environmental Protection Agency said his agency’s mission was to make buying cars, heating homes and running businesses cheaper — not to protect the environment. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/c...

We have some quick and easy advice for those attempting to cut wasteful government spending: Stop letting Donald Trump make the government pay his own resorts so he can golf. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

USAid employees told to destroy classified documents, email shows

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION: My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then, "Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

Lara Trump: “People ought to be kissing the feet of Elon Musk and Donald Trump” This sounded better in the original North Korean.

Jim McGovern: “Republicans jump into action after someone has the guts to stand up and call BS. Less than 24 hours later, here they are on the floor with an emergency censure to soothe Trump's fragile ego. Meanwhile, their own voters are getting hurt by this admin, and it's radio silence.” 🎥: 1/2

Alito & Kavanaugh are just partisan hacks with robes. "Alito’s dissent starts with what might charitably be called selective amnesia, both of the facts of this case as well as recent Supreme Court jurisprudence that he supported." Facts & laws need our defense. @altscalesofjustice.altgov.info

This is deeply illegal, violating appropriations law, authorizations law, and the Impoundment Control Act. It is also deeply immoral, condemning people to die.
